    My Dad and step mum were married and both names were on the house, there is no mortgage.

    They had a joint bank account but my Dad also had another bank account in his own name apparently. My step Mum says that's her money now?
    Check with Land Registry title file to see how the house was owned (https://www.gov.uk/search-property-i...-land-registry cost £3). If owned as joint tenants it will automatically be owned 100% by stepmother, but if owned as tenants in common she will only have a part share.

    Joint bank account will be regarded as hers, the other may not.

    IMO you really need initially to seek face to face professional advice
